ok I did look. It appears the craft takes a helical exit out of our solar system. Which makes sense if I had thought about the velocities required to loop our solar system in ever increasing circles.........looks like they might be able to send data for a few more years 2030 or so, making that a 60 year mission.

To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
Easily wound up!!
Agreed, thats its litteral meaning but the phrase was being used metephorically.

Uh no it wasn't. It was a poor choice of word for an educated man. There are a great number of metaphors for a transitional stage and "final lap(sic)" isn't one of them.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Immature and proud of it.
He has to dumb it down for his audience. The real question is, how dumb is it going to get?
Homer dumb?
It used to be that totalitarian regimes kept the population docile by not educating them, now they feed them mental garbage. Has the same effect, but maintains the pretence of an educated population.

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

You're absolutely spot on there Jim.
But I'd like to broaden this out a little if I may. IMHO it is often taken for granted that well educated and highly intelligent individuals are very articulate and capable of wrapping mere mortals around their little fingers linguistically. But, based upon my experience, I think that this is an incorrect assumption.
Case in point - I have a gentleman, sitting very close to me as I type this, that holds PhD in not one, but two subjects. He was a Professor back in the UK in a very technical field, and a very distinguished and well respected individual. Yet he is one of the most inarticulate people I have ever met and his written English is terrible, as is his spelling. Incidentally, it took him something like 8 or 9 attempts before he passed his driving test. But the guy is a genius and a walking encyclopaedia. This guy isn’t the first brain box I’ve worked with who has had these sorts of problems. A rather famous guy I once worked for (he invented the GSM air interface) couldn’t string a sentence together without fluffing up, let alone write anything legible. The company I worked for had to hire a PA who sat next to him all day, taking notes and editing his documents.
The problem is that to many people pre-judge other people by their inability to spell, write clearly or articulate their views succinctly, and as a result form a negative opinion about them.
Apologies for shooting off at somewhat of a tangent. But it's lunchtime and my lunch buddy has disappeared, so I'm bored and fancied waffling. Sorry.

That is a fair point, but that wasn't my original argument. The BBC had a responsibility to point out that the wrong word had been used. They didn't bother.

I know - but I was wearing my waffle hat at the time.
